Hannah's Warrior

Hannah Bell, the oldest of the three Bell sisters, spends most of her time in the remotest parts of the world photographing endangered animals. She is also gifted with an extraordinary sixth sense which has saved her life on more than one occasion. When she senses something has happen to her littlest sister, Tink, she will do whatever it takes to protect her. What she doesHannah Bell, the oldest of the three Bell sisters, spends most of her time in the remotest parts of the world photographing endangered animals. She is also gifted with an extraordinary sixth sense which has saved her life on more than one occasion. When she senses something has happen to her littlest sister, Tink, she will do whatever it takes to protect her. What she doesn’t know is her sister’s best friend Cosmos' new science experiment has opened a portal to another world. A world she is about to be taken to whether she wants to go or not.

Borj ‘Tag Krell Manok is the calmest of his four brothers, or so he always thought. The second oldest, he has been assigned the task by his father and the counsel to bring the sister of his brother's bond mate to their world. Borj knows deep down that Hannah is destined to be his bond mate, something he has hoped for since his first mating rite ceremony. What he doesn't expect when he meets her is her resistance or her independence.

When she is kidnapped by a rival clan, Borj will do anything to get her back. Hannah and Borj's escape into the vast forests of Prime draw them together in a fight not only for their lives but for a deeper understanding and trust between two vastly different worlds. Borj discovers Hannah is a fierce and cunning mate while Hannah discovers Borj is the perfect warrior to protect and love her.

Hannah has trauma in her past but she has learned to distance herself emotionally and is able to physically fight when necessary. Those aliens are put on the ground over and over by the tiny warriors. And they want one of their own. I wasn’t fond of the “tiny” monicker since Hannah is an average height female. At least from Earth. But the aliens are apparently larger than life. Those aliens. Amusing in this book in their pursuit of getting their own bond mate. I’m looking forward to the next adventure and matched pair. ...more

Enjoyable, low-relationship angst story, just like Book 1. Both Hannah and Borj were likable characters.

The one thing I have trouble with in this series is buying into the premise that the Prime people never just naturally figured out ways to get and give sexual pleasure to each other. Seems like it would have just happened when you care about someone. But seeing as that is one of the premises behind the series (that, and the lack of females), you just have to go with it and not question4 stars

Seems like it would have just happened when you care about someone. But seeing as that is one of the premises behind the series (that, and the lack of females), you just have to go with it and not question too much. Despite that issue, I do plan to read more books in the series. I like the obsessive-possessive alpha males who were not manwhores. Hard to find anywhere, so when I find a series with heroes like that, I run with it....more

The author seemed desperate making Bachmann the villain. I thought he was some useless annoying character. And I do not buy the idea of J'Kar not executing him immediately.

If there is a sensitivity to rape there is a portion in the book towards the end. Not so graphic, but if you have a good imagination then it may be too much, so beware.

Good story, the beginning had a little bit of funny in it especially the part where Hannah uses a frying pan and Borj is the recipient. In this book we get to meet another clan from the Baade planet with Merrick as the leader. Now on to the next book...

I don’t really have a lot to say about this one, I liked it but I didn’t love it and I just found Hannah to be an ok character nothing about her jumped out at me and connected me to the story and that’s totally ok.

I liked Borj and I am glad he found his mate.

Just because I didn’t connect well with this book doesn’t mean I didn’t like it or that I won’t keep going with the series I will.

What I liked about this book was Hannah's independence. She likes being alone, in nature, doing her own thing. She refuses to bow down to Borj - he definitely has to work for her. She doesn't trust men easily, has a troubled past, and won't be claimed willingly. Borj sees Hannah in a picture with her sisters and thinks she is the most beautiful creature and his mate. He goes to Earth to get her and bring her parents along to be with Tink. They get involved with the Eastern Mountain Clan, their lWhat I liked about this book was Hannah's independence.

He goes to Earth to get her and bring her parents along to be with Tink. They get involved with the Eastern Mountain Clan, their leader Merrick, who has been "hosting"Bachman(the human who stabbed Tink). Merrick wants information on Earth's females and how to get them. He kidnaps Hannah thinking to blackmail Borj into giving them info. They come to an agreement but Bachman and some of Merrick's rogues escape and end up kidnapping Hannah. Hannah has already made the choice never to be a victim, she will fight until the end, even if Borj can't get to her in time. Bachman and his men terrorize and abuse Hannah, and they even turn on each other. Borj does find Hannah but she's right at the edge of death. Borj refuses to let her go, fights to bring his little warrior back....more

S.E. Smith has done it again for me. I love the work of Cosom's Gateway. The Gateway opened by pure accident has lead to many a new adventures for a family of women and their friends. This time around was Hannah's turn. She finds that she had a dream that could only be brought to life by a man out of this world. Dreams do come true.

The whole bonding thing without consent was not the fave of mine but it was a part of the culture and customs of the world that has in-directly become involved with Earth. Join the ups, downs, and adventures of Borj and Hannah. Her parents are just wonderful. The take down of these strong men are fun and entertaining. Just because Earth women are small they are powerful.

Wow, for a few hours the world of Cosmos' Gateway distracted me from my summer sniffles. I'd been hoping for more interactions between Prime males and Bell women ever since reading Tink's Neverland and this story definitely delivered. Hannah and Borj are two strong, passionate characters that mesh well from the beginning. Borj will always remember their first meeting as will Hannah.

We get to see more of the Prime home planet and meet the Bell parents. The background is getting setup for some of the upcoming romances, especially Tansy and Cosmos. And in case anyone is worried about the series ending soon since 2 of the 3 sisters are bonded, some new characters are introduced that deserve stories. Of course every book by this author that I've read has caused me to want spinoff stories about some of the characters, and this book is not an exception.

My stars for this series dramatically dropped after the first one. First of all, it makes no sense that the only reason their women were not able to enjoy sex was that their men did not know how to make it enjoyable. If you care about someone that happens eventually even if you dont know anything right? And why all of this family is so horny and so public about it? That is weird.. My another problem lies with the bad guy. Bachman was nothing in my eyes at first. Why is he the bad guy? He shouldMy stars for this series dramatically dropped after the first one.

Since he was oh so alpha, so possesive and protective. I think it was a far strech to make him bad guy in both books. He was suppose to be a nausiance at the first book and thats all ....more

Now I don't feel really strange with the idea of alien and sort. Because I'd love to meet one! Especially The Prime. LOL. They love deeply and strong, I think that's admirable. I enjoyed how Borj 'meet' Hannah and the banter between them is soo fun to read. Liked it!

Not as good as the first. Too many proofreading errors. This story was more about the action/adventure than the romance, which isn't my cup of tea. Still a good sequel that had many of the same elements as the first book in the series.

Uhm hello emotional rollercoaster! At first I kept comparing this book to the first book in the series “Tink’s Neverland” and was bummed out at first. Tink was very full of life, spirited, funny and charming. Hannah on the other hand was more of the “responsible” one out of the two sisters. She seemed a little reserved at first but as the book went on she opened up more which I was happy about. Hannah was a little more resistant than Tink when it came to accepting their mates.

She seemed a little reserved at first but as the book went on she opened up more which I was happy about. Hannah was a little more resistant than Tink when it came to accepting their mates. However, as time went on I started to really love Hannah. We got to understand her more and the reasoning behind some of her actions. As much as I love Tink and her story, I have to say Hannah’s book had WAY more going on and way more action. It kind of felt like one thing after another which I loved. The author kept me on my toes with what could happen next. There was a lot more when it came to the plot, especially towards the end. I found myself on the brink of tears at some points. I couldn’t put the book down until I finished it because I just had to know how it was going to end.

I found myself laughing out loud during the beginning and middle like I did during Tink’s story which I appreciated. I feel like you know it’s a good book when you literally laugh out loud. I fell more in love with the family dynamic between Hannah, Tink and Tilly. I definitely felt like Tilly acted more like a rebellious sister than a mother but I still loved it because she also made me laugh and you could tell how loving the relationship was between her and Hanna and Tink. I wish I got to read more about Hannah’s dad, I felt like we saw little glimpses of him but not enough for me to have any sort of relationship to him. I hope in the coming books we get to see more from him.

If you loved Tink’s story then you are going to definitely love Hannah’s story. Hannah and Borj were amazing and I loved how you can see the differences between them and Tink and J’kar....more

Borj goes back to earth to bring a family member back to his planet to help Tink with her pregnancy. He is determined that it be Hannah that comes back.

She is also kidnapped several more times while on his planet. We see a little bit of some of the different tribes.

This is the second book in the Cosmos' Gateway series. I loved the two main characters in this book. Hannah, Tink's oldest sister, must rely on her sixth sense to overcome the obstacles in her present and future. She is a warrior at heart and relies on no one for her safety. Borj knows what he wants and is travelling across the galaxies to get it. But she is not what he expected.

Great but it did get emotional near the end where Borj feels Hannah's pain. Though she didn't show him what is causing her pain, Borj's reaction to it... oh god. I love books that can make me cry, it just shows how great this book is & that I'm human. It is a shame that Hannah couldn't outwit the Eastern Mountain Clan a little long before she was captured again but she proved her point that women aren't weak as most men believe.

As always Smith leads us on a good adventure. Borj and Hannah have lot to overcome in this story. She has had a bad experience in her past that makes it hard for her to let a male get close but Borj refuses to let her go and ends up putting her in a very similar experience. It will everything Borj has to save Hannah and bring her home. The strong warriors of planet Prime are good strong males who deserves the chance to have a good strong female as their MATES.

This is Book 2 of the Cosmos Gateway series. I thought Tink in the first book was hilarious but this book takes a more somber tone. Nevertheless, it's a thrilling read! The world building by Ms. Smith brings it all to life. I can't give anything away but I can say that there's one scene that almost gave me vertigo. And the last one is really beautiful.

Another terrific addition to the series with plenty action packed moments,suspense and drama,as well as a wonderful life story creating perfect reading pleasure for everyone. I highly recommend this whole series as well as her other wonderfully written books S.E.Smith has to offer,you'll be thrilled by her magic that she brings to each page with her wonderful characters and storylines. Don't miss out on this series of any of her books.📖💖💗💝💏😍

Wow these stories just keep getting better and better. The storyline is interesting, funny and very well written. Just about the time you think one of the main characters is about to be done in, something you don't expect happens to save the day. You'll find yourself wanting to read the next book just to find out where it leads. Strongly recommend reading.

Back on Earth the sister visited and stayed at Cosmo's home. Then a portal opened and she met an Alien. He wanted her to travel back to his planet where her younger sister was. Then her parents arrived and they insisted on coming along as well. Plus she was told the strange marking on her were because she was his bondmate. Can't wait for more stories in this series.

The storyline itself is pretty good. It's everything you'd expect from a scifi romance novel, except for one thing: the grammar was atrocious. There were errors everywhere, to the point where it was a bit distracting for me as the reader. Perhaps it was just the version I read, but it needed a lot of help.

Borj knew when he saw the picture of Hannah she was his, but he didn't think it would be so hard to claim her. Hannah kept her distance from men but something it Borj drew her in. Great story, love the Bell family. Quite a few funny moments and lots of romance.
